No tweaks/scripts on the phone pre-install, but I fixed the randomly-decaying-reboot-into-bootloop problem by reinstalling Beta2 3 more times. Didn't have to reformat the SD.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

Thx for the help. However, I actually got it working without flashing back to stock. Just by reinstalling Beta2 (& kernel) 3 more times.

I was still about to revert, as I had Market issues, and problems with Swype and the FaceBook widget, and MyMovies Pro wouldn't work either. THEN I found that there was a NEW version of Beta2, and I put it on yesterday.

Cured ALL my ills, and everything runs perfect!

I found the 2.5.1 and 2.5.5 varieties that I was considering trying out, but this is working so well I just can't justify messing it up. :D

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

Thank you so much DG!

I just get everything running right, and then you go and make it better!!!

I was afraid to flash 2.5.1 or 2.5.5, but I'll flash your kernel - cause you've never led me astray before ;)

Hi, flashed the new kernel and everything runs fine except I can't turn off the phone without doing a battery pull. When I go to turn it off it simply reboots and starts back up again.. all runs well, just cannot turn it off. ( I posted this comment elsewhere in error..sorry for the double take).
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Thanks -

To all developers involved in the porting of this ROM image. Excellent work. I'm currently using ICS Beta 2 with DG's updated Kernel and the Bluetooth fix. All is working well. Pretty much my daily ROM since I very rarely use video recording... Would be nice to have USB Mount working seemlessly but hey, definitely not complaining!

Again, excellent work and I hope to see more great stuff from you guys!

Thanks!

Question -

Is it just me or does the contrast of the screen seem to be off a little?

It's almost like everything seems to not have enough contrast. Images seem to show up a tad bit cloudy. Images that had great blacks and deep colors on GB now seem to appear a little "white-washed" on ICS...

Anyone else notice this?

Is there any way to fix/alter this?
[Captivate Android Development] ihalatci:
I followed this to the letter and after 15 minutes I am still at the boot animation. Should I wait more?

I just updated my cappy to DG Kernel and now I am unable to power off the phone.... :D

Not sure if this is good or bad... :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Found a bug with this kernel :( Can any confirm if they can toggle to 2G? Every time I have tried since updating, my phone reboots.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

anyone that has not seen it yet, the camera in the 10 cent deals has zoom and works great on the ICS port!

[Captivate Android Development] mepis:
Replicated the issue. Kind of glad you noticed it this because ill be traveling this weekend and this would suck to have my phone drop out while driving.

After selecting 2g only the phone rebooted. From there everytime the.phone turned on and tried to activate the radio it would reboot again. When going into the Droid field test menu and trying to change wcdma preferred the phone restarted. Flashing fugimods beta 2 kernal resolves the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Nice to see you back in the Captivate Community!

Maybe you should start your own kernel thread to read the complains and problems a little more clearly.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Thanks for info. About camera going to try it out
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I don't use 2G normally. In fact, since switching to ICS, its the only way I can get full signal when I am home with an I9000 modem. Glad that I am not the only one getting the reboot from the toggle. I switched back to fugu beta 2 kernel and the reboots stopped.

Question for others. I live in the Bay Area, more specifically San Jose. Any other Captivate owners in the area? IF so, what modems have you found to work best? I have tried JL2, KC1, JVT, JV3, JK3/4 and I have to toggle all the 2G for signal.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Nice catch on the 2g data toggle. I never use 2g and rarely get bumped to it. I will check it out tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
PM me if you need any logs... unless you have your cappy still :D;)
[Captivate Android Development] Knight613:
I'm not sure if this is able to be replicated for others. I installed the new kernal designgears put up and every time I try to update an app on the market my phone will reboot. I tried clearing the data and rebooting but it doesn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Are you getting 2G?
[Captivate Android Development] Knight613:
Nope, phone just rebooted switching to 2G.

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:

[Captivate Android Development] NikAmi:
Man...what happened between Alpha 6 and 7. A6 was quite usable, but A7 is slow as hell. I think I'm going to have to go back to CM7 until things are fleshed out a bit more unless someone knows of some tweak I should do to get the performance to at least Alpha 6 levels.

Edit: I was trying to install Voltage Control from the Market, but the Market just crashed and now its saying that the application is not installed.

Edit 2: And now the Market magically came back. This is trippy.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Just want to add my name to the list of people, where A7 is substantially slower than A6.

Also, I haven't seen anyone else mention it, but my WIFI is substantially slower (on both A6 and A7) than other ROMS. In fact, I've never had a rom noticeably affect my wifi before, but ICS definitely does.

Not complaints, of course. Just feedback.

Edit: Also, for those wondering, I was unable to restore straight from ICS to my miui nandroid backup... I got an error of "No such directory: datadata". I'm reflashing MIUI and will try again, (which I'm sure will work).

Edit#2: same error. Looks like I had to actually boot MIUI once to create the datadata, and it's now restoring fine.
[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:

[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Hey guys I'm on the road right now (4 hour trip to see the grandparents, yay!) but I'm going to look into this losing recovery issue, I've never had that problem myself, but I'll work on it while I'm on the road. As for right now, make sure you guys are using the correct button. Combos for your bootloaders.

---ATT BOOTLOADERS---

Recovery: volume up and down plus power. Hold volume until you are in recovery, let go of power once ATT splash shows up (when your screen turns on)

Download: volume up and down, plug in USB. Should immediately be in. DL mode.

---I9000 BOOTLOADERS---

recovery: volume up and power. Hold volume till in recovery, release power when your screen turns on.

Download: volume down and power. Should immediately boot into DL mode.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH BOOTLOADERS I HAVE?!?!?

When you boot up if the first thing you see is a white ATT screen you have ATT bootloaders. If you see a black I9000 screen then you have I9000 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
To run the unbrick program? Yeah he does, what that does is upload the modified SBL and PBL to the RAM, allowing it to run so it can download firmware from the computer.... for it to upload the modified bootloaders, it has to have the mod done so it can access the RAM. I have the mod done to my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:
i'm not familiar with the hardware-based unbrickable mod or how it works; probably as you describe. but the one i linked him to does not require any hardware mod at all. i've successfully unbricked my phone with it before. check out the thread, there is absolutely no mention of a hardware mod requirement...
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Yeah I contacted him about it. Just have to send it in and pay him 36 bucks to do it. My last ditch effort is to go to AT&T and see if they do anything about it.

There's still complicated soldering and splitting of wires involved. None of which are on the phone, but still. Not even mentioning I don't own a soldering iron
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
If your phone is hard bricked then tell them during the FROYO update it just stopped working and wont turn on anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:
um, ok.. i guess you guys have reading comprehension issues :/
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Also the link you linked to is for soft bricks not hard bricks.. .

exactly. because this is last ditch attempt to salvage his phone in case it's soft-bricked.

To get maps to work, I changed input TTS to Pico. Google TTS on Maps kept crashing.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Can you explain, I dont know how to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Id give it a try but heavily rely on 2g
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Sure. Go to settings. Scroll down to language and input. Tap that. Scroll down towards the bottom to text to speech output. Open it. Google tts is default. If Pico is there. Choose it. If not. You can download from the market then follow the above directions. Fixed my navigation issues too. Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Please see above regarding Pico TTS.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Well i switched to Pico so Google TTS stopped crashing, thanks for that. But Maps its still not getting a location. I think its a known issue with beta 2.5.1.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:

[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Just reloaded Beta 2 from scratch, and I restored Maps with Tibu. It worked fine and I just now went to market and updated it to 6.02 with no problem. If you use Titanium Backup, maybe see if you have it backed up and try to restore then update it.

On a side note, DG's kernel was very smooth and fast but I had random reboots. After reading I am assuming I was going between 3g and 2g areas and the switch caused the reboot.

Of course I reloaded from scratch before I read the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Sgt_Bilbo:
I ran into the same problem w/ DG's Kernel, so I switched back to the original Beta2 kernel. No more random reboots, but now I'm not able to get the Market to download anything. It just sits there trying to start the download, but it never actually goes anywhere. Do I need to backup, wipe, and re-flash, or is there some other fix I can use?

I'm not sure about your market. I'm one of the lucky few that hasn't had issues with my Market. Maybe just open apps manager, market, and clear the data on it. See if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Sgt_Bilbo:
Gave that a shot, to no avail. Ended up backing up my messages and apps and starting over. Everything works now, thankfully. Kinda curious as to when we should be seeing Beta 2.5.5 or 3...? No rush, Dev's, as you guys have put together some amazing work and this will continue as my daily driver...period.

USB Drivers

Demaon, or anybody else that answer this, on the front page of this OP is uSB driver download. I downloaded it and still doesn't reconize my phone.

Yesterday I noticed and downloaded USB drivers for computers that don't reconize phone, from ICSSGS Download page. It's a .rar file, and was wondering has anybody tried this file and does it work. And if it does what program is best for installing it in phone or does it install on computer.

Sorry for stupid question.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
It is a good question. I never had any problems with the USB connection other than when I did not flash the rom twice or I did not do a wipe before flashing the rom. I have the regular sammy drivers and the nexus S drivers on my computer.
[Captivate Android Development] Sgt_Bilbo:
Sorry man, I think you misunderstood. I DON'T want Touchwiz on ICS because I think ICS looks and operates better than 2.3.x, so I'm going to stick with stock ICS for the foreseeable future. Good article, though.
[Captivate Android Development] mepis:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't all the ports thus far been based on the I9000 with a Captivate kernel? If that's the case, couldn't we flash this Beta and use the Captivate kernel over top? The phone will be identified as an I9000 but that should be the only issue.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I'm currently on the 2.5.5 version using DG kernel.

You can also try this rom if you want some customization to your ICS.

What's your initial battery life looking like? In beta 2.5.1 with the other kernel it was depleting as fast as miui would for me. I'm going away this weekend so I had to back down to beta 2 with the beta 2 kernel. Need my phone for GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Too little time to tell on battery life. Some issues too. Without a home button I can't multi task which stinks because my blue tooth media finally works. GPS seems a bit weaker than it did on 2.5.1. My PC now mounts to the phone but for daily use I need task manager. Please try it. If someone could fix the blue tooth media and PC mount on 2.5.1 it would be awesome.
